GEORGE HARZINSKI, OF CUBWENSVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA.

SHADE AND 'GURTAIN BRACKET.

Application filed February 26, 1923.

1 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE HARZINSKI,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Curwcnsville in the countyof Clearfield and State 0" Pennsylvania, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Shade and Curtain. Brackets, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to household fixtures and has for its object theprovision of a combined shade and curtain bracket which is fullyadjustable for use upon windows of different widths and which has thegreat advantage of being secured in place simply and without anydifliculty whatever as to ascertaining the proper points at which theelements should be applied.

An important and more specific object is the provision of a device ofthis character which will be constructed entirely of sheet metal, thebase or body of the device being provided with guide means within whichthe adjustable elements are slidably mounted.

An additional object is the provision of a device of this characterwhich will be simple and inexpensive in manufacture, highly eflicient inuse, durable in service and a general improvement in the art.

lVith the above and other objects and advantages in view the inventionconsists in the details of construction to be hereinafter more fullydescribed and claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, inwhich: Figure 1 is a front elevation of the device,

Figure 2 is a plan view thereof applied,

Figure 3 is an end view,

Figure 1 is a cross section.

Referring more particularly to the drawings I have shown the bodyportion of my device as consisting of an elongated sheet 10 of suitablemetal which may be painted, enameled, nickel plated, lacquered orotherwise treated to have a pleasing appearance.

The edges of this sheet are formed with over-hanging flanges 11 and 12for a purpose to be described. Secured upon the front of the sheet orbody and extending longitudinally thereof at its center is a strip 13which has its edges offset withrespect to the sheet 10 whereby to defineflanges 14 and 15 cooperating respectively with the flanges 11 and 12.

Serial No. 621,406.

Slidable upon the sheet, 10 between the flanges 11 and 14 are superposedstrips 16 which are similar and which may be described as telescopicallyadjustable. The outer ends of these strips are formed with lateralforward extensions 17 notched at 18 for holding a curtain rod 19.

Slidable upon the lower portion of the sheet 10 between the flanges 12and 15 are superposed strips 20 which are likewise telescopicallyadjustable and which have their outer ends carrying shade rollerbrackets 21 which may be formed integrally thereon or which may besecured thereto and which are for the purpose of holding a conventionalshade roller 22.

In the use of the device it is fastened at the top of a window by meansof suitable nails, screws or the like which are passed through suitableholes 23 in the body 10, preferably at the center of the strip 13. Thestrips 16 are pulled or pushed as the case maybe to bring the extensions17 thereof the proper distance apart to suit the window and to suit theproper length of curtain rod or pole. The strips 20 are likewise pushedtogether or pulled apart to adjust the distance between the brackets 21so that a shade roller of proper length may be held.

From the foregoing description and a study of the drawings it will beapparent that I have thus provided a simply constructed and consequentlyinexpensive combined curtain pole and shade roller bracket in which thewhole device may be fastened in place with the utmost ease the partsbeing furthermore readily adjustable for use upon windows of differentsizes and for holding curtain poles or shade rollers of differentlengths.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of theinvention it is of course to be understood that I reserve the right tomake such changes in the form, construction and arrangement of parts aswill not depart from the spirit of the invention or the scope of thesubjoined claim.

Having thus described my invention I claim:

A combined curtain pole and shade roller supporting bracket structurecomprising an elongated body sheet having its opposite longitudinaledges rolled inwardly to de fine flanges, a strip secured upon the sheetlongitudinally thereof at its center and havnotches for holding acurtain rod, and a ing its longitudinal edges offset to define pair ofstrips slidably mounted Within the flanges co-operating with said firstnamed channel between the other two flanges and 10 flanges, 21 pair ofstrips slidably engaged having their outer ends carrying shade 5 withinthe channel between two of said roller supporting. brackets.

flanges and having their outer ends termi- In testimony whereof I afiixmy signature. nating in forward extensions provided with GEORGEHARZINSKI.
